Digital Desk: Elon Musk, Twitter's owner and CEO, is making news with his new rules and regulations for his staff as Twitter is in the midst of significant layoffs. But for an unexpected reason, one of his recent Twitter discussions has caught the attention of the internet.
Elon Musk commented "he is an alien" in response to a
tweet from author Tim Urban.
What is the wildest conspiracy theory that you believe to be
true? Tim Urban questioned his 669,376 Twitter users.
While many people shared their crazy conspiracy theories,
everyone was taken aback by Twitter CEO Elon Musk's response.
He wrote, "I'm an alien seeking to return to my home
planet.
Tim responded with a joke, "I thought we agreed you weren't
going to talk about this publicly.
Musk retaliated, "Uncertain whether to confirm or deny
that. That is more convincing than I'm an extraterrestrial. I'm a
nonhuman."
Elon Musk, meanwhile, reportedly took "days of
relaxation" off Twitter Inc. employees' calendars, according to people
familiar with the situation. During the epidemic, the monthly day off for the
entire workplace was implemented. Its expiration is yet another indication of
Musk's irritation with Twitter's current organisational structure.
On Friday, Twitter also revealed widespread layoffs there. These
employment cuts impacted every sector, including engineers and the whole
marketing and communications division.
The dismissals are a part of a global restructure that Elon Musk, the new owner of the social media network, ordered. Although the precise number of layoffs was not immediately known, reports claimed that, aside from the two departments that were dissolved, personnel in the sales, engineering, and partnerships divisions were "impacted". According to sources, more than half of Twitter's 200-person India workforce has been let go overall.
